I agree with this. We have both here in NYC. First of all, cyclists need a way to get to their destination. Nobody is going to ride on the greenway and then walk a few blocks to their destination. Second of all, motorist behavior has really changed since the lanes were installed. The protected lanes are mostly like a separate route, but they still intersect the same road, and force drivers to mix in with cyclists on some turns. It can be hairy, but it's helped define space for everyone and increase safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers alike by reducing turn speeds.
